and FamilyLetters, Eitzes, Feedbackby Tzvia Ehrlich-Klein

A little of each, this time. Mrs. Leifer from London finds
our `Baalebusta' section very interesting and says she has
been using shoe boxes to organize her shelves, but feels that
people should have 7/8 changes to accommodate chol
hamoed and during simchas - fine, and you have an
extra day of the first while our hot/humid climate, as you
note, warrants daily changes.

She has NO criticism to offer, even after we are read and
digested. Thanks!

Our next tip from Mrs. F. in Jerusalem comes highly
recommended by London's famous Dr. Adler. Our reader, who
suffers from chronic arthritis, tells us that PINEAPPLE and
PINEAPPLE JUICE is a cheap and natural remedy for this
ailment. A week of one-glass-daily should relieve all pain!
Certainly doesn't hurt. Let us know... And she also enjoys
our FAMILY pages. Again, thanks!

Another tip: for those of you who stay away from coffee past
midday so as not to suffer from insomnia, but still like hot
drinks, try hot vanilla. Hot water, milk and sugar like in
your coffee, but a dash of vanilla extract instead.
Delicious!

And also for insomnia sufferers, a tablet of calcium before
going to sleep. Cheap, harmless - actually beneficial - and
does the trick.

Chani S. from Kiryat Sefer does not have central heating, but
when it gets cold, puts her blech on the stovetop and
a pot of water on top. The heat is radiated throughout the
house with added steam to make it comfortable and cozy.
Probably the cheapest heating for your money.

Someone who enjoys our Creativity Corner warns us that ALL
playdough is chometz.

And a CLARIFICATION on our Tu BiShvat recipe which called for
mashed dates. This is the date spread, mimrach tmarim,
which is fine, and not the pressed dates which are not
necessarily bug-inspected, despite their Eida
hechsher.
